According to Fred Clarkson: Reconstructionists believe that there are three main areas of governance: family government, church government, and civil government. Under Gods covenant, the nuclear family is the basic unit. The husband is the head of the family, and wife and children are in submission to him. In turn, the husband submits to Jesus and to Gods laws as detailed in the Old Testament. The church has its own ecclesiastical structure and governance. Civil government exists to implement Gods laws. All three institutions are under Biblical Law, the implementation of which is called theonomy. Christian Reconstructionists believe that as more Christians adopt Dominion Theology, they will eventually convert the majority of Americans. Then the country will realize that the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights are merely codicils to Old Testament biblical law. Because they believe this is Gods will, they scoff at criticism that what they plan is a revolutionary overthrow of the existing system of government. Over the past 20 years the leading proponents of Reconstructionism have included founder Rousas John (R.J.) Rushdoony, Gary North, Greg Bahnsen, David Chilton, Gary DeMar, and Andrew Sandlin. Kingdom Now theology emerged from the Latter Rain Pentacostal movement and the concept of Spiritual Warfare against the literal demonic forces of Satan. It has been promoted by founder Earl Paulk as well as C. Peter Wagner, founder of the New Apostolic Reformation movement. For many, President Obama and the Democratic Party are among these demonic forces. This has real world consequences.
